It's hard to believe that most people can understand the legacy that Russell Simmons has stared with communities today.He is mostly known as the "God Father" of the Hip Hop world, but Simmons is not just that he is the comedy director of DefJamzComedy owner and founder of the Rush Card, Phat Fashions,or even DefCon3 all theses great business connections are all tied in with Rush Communications. Although all of theses successare based on the business world. Simmons has also started a great leagacy of helping less fortuante improve urban area. Russell began the Rush Philanthropis Arts Foundationn, which is an establishment to help build the urban communities.
The Simmons Legacy started in Hollis Queens which was a middle class area, that had begun to be destoyed by drugs and violence. Russell grew up with his two brothers Danny and Joey Simmons. All three boys were born to Evelyn Simmons. Once Russell became of age, he just like most young boys wanted MONEY, thats when he fell into the trade of drug selling and money chasing.Simmons sold fake cocan and marjuana this drug attempt inspired him in his later life to write his book Life andDef: Sex, Drugs, Money +GodWhich sold him millions, the book was self inspired. Later on in his legacy he married and Divorced Kimora Lee- Simmons,and had two beautiful girls.
Simmons had alot of turn arounds and rejections. In 1977 after going to a party and after hearing a mc give the club shout outs that inspired Simmons to want to expland his love for the music life. So Simmons started renting and promoting parties,but because Russell had no experince and could no rap or sing, he began to produce and promote.So Simmons as a young investor produced his brother Joey aka Rev Run which later became a success called Run D.M.C. Simmons was inspired by his friends and area he grew up in. He didnot want to fail and fall in a bad lifestyles like others he grew up with. Russell Simmons mother Evelyn Simmons inspired Russell to pick himself up when he failed, or when a door got shut in his face, or even when he put alot of money into his investment at the night clubs and he then walked away with no money his mother was his insperation to move foward. She gave Russell money to pick himself up and start over.
Simmons reconigtion is over due. Not only is he a insperation to the Hip hop community, he is a insperation to the young adults that try to make money the best they can, Russell was there berfor so its always best to get advice from someone who was in the same shoes as you rathers than hearing the same old sob story from someone that has never been in those shoes. He shows us that in order to have a huge success, there are baby steps everyone takes.(unless you was born into the legacy) Simmons has taught me not everyone has a success, there is failure in everyones story.Simmons legacy will continue throught the years because in the hip Hop lands he is a god father and will always be respected as one. in the fashion lands is Phat Fams and Baby Phat legacy will always dress our streets,and the Rush card will forever help people adjust with there prepaid debit cards access.
